Overview

Letters from the late mother of orphaned sisters Jane and Katherine seem to indicate that their father is Capt. Bob Dutton. Under orders from his superior, Colonel Harding, to acknowledge the children or quit the service, Dutton accepts responsibility for them. Shocked by his presumably checkered past, Cecile Harding, Dutton’s fiancĂ©e and the colonel’s daughter, breaks their engagement. One evening Jane surprises Capt. Robert Duncan, Dutton’s rival for Cecile, stealing Bob’s papers.
